Banana + chocolate spelt breakfast muffins

My love of baked goods for breakfast will not stop in 2015. Danish pastries, muffins and croissant are among my faves.

I’ve recently found a new love in the form of spelt muffins. I think spelt flour is under-used in baking these days – it is so versatile and has a wonderfully nutty flavour, perfect for denser bakes such as bread and muffins.

My last breakfast of 2014 were these banana + chocolate spelt muffins. They are great as they are more dense than your standard Starbucks muffins but are still wonderfully moist and soft. Packed with bananas and honey, a winning breakfast combination, with the added bonus of chocolate as an extra treat. These are great for making ahead of time; do you like the idea of having something nice for breakfast and don’t have the time to do so? Ever feel like everyone these days are posting pictures of their fruit and syrup-slathered waffles whilst you are crying in your breakfast cereal?
